Oil on Board

A captivating composition with a view of a port with an expressive and dynamic energy, executed in oil on board and dated 1955.

The painting presents a boat moored by the water at a port. Surrounding the water’s edge, an array of buildings stretch across, their forms rendered with a confident hand.

The artist’s brushstrokes are assertive and distinct, each one contributing to the overall rhythm of the scene. The forceful application of paint creates an expressive quality, bringing a sense of movement.

The colour palette is rich yet subdued, featuring shades of green, yellow, brown, and blue. These hues meld together to form a cohesive composition with an almost nostalgic atmosphere.

This oil on board is housed in a very well-suited wood frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has a small scuff to the top right corner but this does not detract. See less
